Our Maiden Voyage has begun. The first whiskey available outside our own shores: a release of just 2,888 "Maiden Voyage" one-litre bottles. A warm, complex and easy-drinking, 44% alcohol, single-malt Irish whiskey, finished in PoitÃƒÂ­n barrels that have lain on the island drinking in its unique atmosphere and climate.

Each Mooring Buoy bottle is a hand-blown piece of art, partly made with sand from the island's own beaches. And, in reducing it from cask to bottle strength, rainwater collected on the island itself is used. Live Life at a Tilt, with Inish Turk Beg's Maiden Voyage.
